I am a professor and researcher of Monte Carlo simulation with focus on data science. I aspire impactful scientific contributions to long-lasting environmental/societal challenges and I value science communication.
In addition to the Wolfpack, I also belong to the Hokies, the Wolverines, and the Boilermakers! In my free time, I dance Argentine Tango, and enjoy swimming the lakes, hiking the mountains, and biking the beautiful North Carolina trails.
